Qa-58, 10 August 2018, Spokesperson Of The Ministry Of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Hami Aksoy In Response To A Question Regarding The Tweet Of The U.s. President Trump On Additional Tarriffs Targeting Our Country's Steel And Aluminum Exports To The United States.

Republic Of Turkey Ministry Of Foreign Affairs 10.08.2018

President Trump's decision on imposing additional tarriffs targeting our
country's steel and aluminum exports, in complete disregard of World Trade
Organization rules, cannot be associated with seriousness expected from a
state.

The United States should know that they cannot get any results through such
kind of sanctions and pressures and that these will only harm our alliance
which was forged by hardest challenges.

All the steps taken against Turkey will be given a befitting response as
they have been given before.

In order to bring solutions to the existing problems, Turkey will always
side with diplomacy, dialogue, good will and mutual understanding.
